Note the following basic safety information when using electrical devices to
protect against:
Electric shock
Fire hazards
Injury
2.1 General safety
DDANGER!
Do not operate the device in spaces where danger of explosion
is present.
!WARNING!
Electrical devices are not toys
Keep electrical devices out of reach of children or infirm per-
sons. Do not allow them to use electrical devices without super-
vision.
This device can be used by children aged 8 years or over, as
well as by persons with diminished physical, sensory or mental
capacities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge, providing
they are supervised or have been taught how to use the device
safely and are aware of the resulting risks.
Only use the device as intended.
Do not make any alterations or conversions to the device.
Installation, maintenance and repairs of the generator may only
be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the
risks involved when handling generators as well as the relevant
regulations. Inadequate repairs may cause serious hazards.
For repair service, please contact the manufacturer's branch
office in your country (addresses on the back page).
Mark the area surrounding the device during maintenance work
and prevent access to areas where activation can cause perils.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic,
odourless and colourless gas. Do not inhale any exhaust fumes.
Do not leave the generator motor running in a closed garage or
in a room without windows.

!CAUTION!
The generator may only be used with the inspection cover
closed.
Remove all flammable materials such as petrol, paints,
solvents, etc., from the vicinity of the generator.
Ensure that hot parts of the generator do not come in contact
with any flammable materials.
Only refuel the generator when it is switched off and in a well-
ventilated area. Diesel oil is highly flammable and can explode.
Do not refuel the generator when the vehicle engine is running
if the tank is in the vicinity of the vehicle engine.
Wipe up spilled diesel oil properly and wait until the fumes have
cleared before turning on the engine.
Do not touch the generator and the cables with wet hands.
Replace the fuses using only those with the same technical
data.
ANOTICE!
Do not fill up the tank too full. Fuel must not be allowed to fill up
to the neck of the tank. Check the lid is on properly.
2.2 Operating the device safely
!WARNING!
Always disconnect the power supply when working on the
device.
ANOTICE!
Only operate the device if you are certain that the housing and
the cables are undamaged.

7 Technical description
The generator consists of the following main parts (fig. 1, page 3):
Alternating current generator (1)
Endothermic engine (2)
Internal control panel (3)
Inverter (4)
Remote control (5)
The endothermic engine (2) drives the alternating current generator (1)
connected to it, which in turn generates AC voltage.
The integrated inverter (4) transforms this AC voltage into a stable voltage of
230 V and 50 Hz, which is available at the inverter terminal. The socket for
the connection cable to the control panel (5) is installed in the inverter.
The terminals and the main switch are installed in the internal control
panel (3) located behind the door.
The generator has an integrated battery charger for charging the connected
battery.
Control elements in the control panel
The control panel is located on the generator behind the cover.

8.1 Basic notes on operation
!
Please note the following basic information:
When operating the generator at low temperatures (< 0 °C) you have to
use winter diesel fuel or you have to add a percentage of petrol to the
diesel oil according to the following table:
Always check the oil level before use (chapter “Checking the oil level” on
page 19).
Even small overloads in the long-run will cause the generator to stop.
Leave the generator running for a few minutes after use without any con-
sumers before stopping it.
Abrupt braking, accelerating and driving round bends in the vehicle can
cause problems in the generator's pump system and lead to unwanted
shutdown.
If you are not using your generator for a longer period of time, start it up
at least every 10 days and leave it running for 15 minutes or more.
NOTICE!
Do not run the generator over 70 % of the maximum constant out-
put for the first 50 operating hours (run-in phase).
NOTE
Run the generator at a maximum of approx. 75 % of the maximum
continuous load after the run-in phase.
By doing this you can prolong the service life of the generator and
maximise its efficiency.
CAUTION! Beware of injury
Do not insert your fingers or objects into the air nozzles or the
intake grille.

Description Generator behaviour Measures
LOW BATTERY
The battery voltage has fallen
below the minimum value for
starting up (9V).
The generator does not start. Charge the battery.
Check OIL Level The generator continues to
run.
Fill up with oil (see chapter
“Checking the oil level” on
page 19).
OIL CHANGE
The number of prescribed
operating hours has been
reached for changing the
engine oil.

“Checking the oil level” on
page 19).
Leave the generator to cool
down for a few minutes then
start up the generator again.
GENERATOR ALERT!
General alarm message
The generator stops. Check the system by referring
to the troubleshooting table.
If the problem persists, con-
tact the manufacturer's
branch office in your country
(addresses on the back
page).
OVERLOAD!
The consumers generate an
overload at the output.
The inverter switches off,
therefore no voltage is sup-
plied but the engine carries
on running until it goes off.
Reduce the connected load
and start the generator again.
SHORT CIRCUIT
The consumers cause a short
circuit at the output.
The inverter switches off,
therefore no voltage is sup-
plied but the engine carries
on running until it goes off.
Check the connected con-
sumers then start the genera-
tor again.

8.7 Checking the oil level
!
I
Always check the oil level before use. To do this, proceed as follows:
➤Open the generator cover.
➤Switch the generator to no function with the main switch (fig. 41,
page 4).
➤Disconnect the positive terminal of the supply battery.
➤Take the dipstick (fig. 42, page 4) out of the filler neck (fig. 43,
page 4).
➤Clean the dipstick (fig. 42, page 4) with a cloth.
➤Put the dipstick (fig. 42, page 4) back into the filler neck (fig. 43,
page 4).
➤Take the dipstick (fig. 42, page 4) out of the filler neck.
➤Check that the oil level is between the notch (maximum filling level) and
the tip of the dipstick.
If not, top up with more oil.
➤Put the dipstick (fig. 42, page 4) back into the filler neck (fig. 43,
page 4).
➤Connect the generator to the positive terminal of the supply battery.
➤Switch the generator to standby with the main switch (fig. 41, page 4).
